TUNA-TOMATO SALAD
This was something I made up while living on a student budget in Paris, France. This is another example of how the greatest things that come out of the kitchen are not a result of planning. I just looked around at what I had in the cupboard, put them together and it worked! It is a great starter or side dish. One rule though...you MUST add the blue cheese! It is what brings everything together. I kind of think of this as the French version of a caprese salad.

Steps:
- Arrange the tomato slices on a plate.
- Take the tuna out of the can and arrange on top of the tomato slices.
- For the dressing: If you buy tuna packed in oil, use a few teaspoons of that from the can and add the lemon juice. Otherwise use any vegetable oil or even olive oil, (vegetable oil is obviously more budget friendly) No need to add salt because the cheese is plenty salty.
- Crumble the blue cheese on top of the tuna and tomato. I used Roquefort, which is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! But any strong blue cheese will work.
- Dress the salad simply with the lemon and oil and sprinkle over the thyme and pepper.

GREEK-STYLE TUNA SALAD
I had this in a restaurant once and it was so good I had to go home and recreate it. I have it with spinach stuffed in a pita or sandwich. I've cut back on the dressing to keep the calorie count low but adding more is yummy!

Steps:
- Make the dressing: In a blender blend together the garlic, the vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice, the sun-dried tomatoes, the plum tomatoes, and 1/4 cup water until the mixture is smooth and with the motor running add the oil in a stream. Add the sour cream, the coriander, the additional lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and blend the dressing until it is combined well. (The dressing may be made 1 day in advance and kept covered and chilled. Let the dressing return to room temperature.)
- In a large bowl toss the mesclun with the tomatoes and the corn and divide the mixture among 4 plates. Brush the tuna on both sides with the oil, season it with salt and pepper, and grill it on an oiled rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals for 4 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until is cooked to the desired degree. Let the tuna stand for 3 minutes and cut it against the grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Divide the tuna slices among the salads and pour about 1/4 cup of the dressing over each serving. Serve any remaining dressing separately and garnish the salads with nasturtium blossoms.
Tips:
- Use high-quality canned tuna. Look for tuna that is packed in water or olive oil and has a firm, flaky texture.
- Chop the vegetables finely. This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the salad and make it easier to eat.
- Use a light mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. This will help to keep the salad light and refreshing.
- Add some fresh herbs, such as dill or chives, to brighten up the flavor of the salad.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. Tuna salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Tuna salad is a classic summer dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and weeknight dinners. It is a quick and easy meal that can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying tuna salad that the whole family will enjoy.
